Windows authentication not working when deployed MVC site

Question

I have configured my MVC site to use windows authentication in the project properties and in the config file:

<authentication mode="Windows"/>

When I run the code on my machine everything works fine but when I deploy the site to IIS i get an error stating "User . You are not authorized to use this website."

I made sure Windows Authentication is enabled in IIS features, not sure what else I should to for this to work, please help!

• .NET Framework 4.5
• IIS 7.5
• MVC 5

Answer 1

you need to disable your anonymous authentication.
